Were a remote, product-focused startup building AI- and algorithm-driven systems, and were looking for a strong Backend Django Engineer who loves clean data models, well-designed APIs, and clever algorithms.

Youll own core backend features end-to-end : from modeling the data to implementing the logic and exposing it through fast, reliable services that ship to users quickly, working with a small distributed team across several countries.

What Youll Do :

- Design and implement backend services and APIs using Python + Django (and DRF or similar).

- Model and evolve our domain in the database with clean, well-structured schemas and relationships.

- Implement algorithmic/AI logic in the backend (e.g., scoring, ranking, routing, decision rules).

- Write pragmatic, production-ready code thats easy to reason about and iterate on.

- Optimize for correctness and performance : efficient queries, smart indexing, and lean responses.

- Work with the team to turn product ideas into concrete technical designs and endpoints.

- Help shape how we build things : patterns, conventions, and how we ship and iterate as we grow.

What Were Looking For :

- Strong experience building backend applications with Python + Django.

- Solid understanding of relational data modeling and SQL (we use PostgreSQL).

- Comfortable designing and building RESTful APIs (bonus if youve used DRF or similar frameworks).

- Experience working on non-trivial business logic or algorithms (e.g., decision flows, scoring rules,
optimization logic).

- Good instincts around performance : understanding query behavior, avoiding obvious pitfalls, and using caching when it counts.

- A startup mindset : comfortable with ambiguity, moving fast, and iterating based on real-world feedback.

- Ability to work independently in a remote environment and communicate clearly.

Bonus Points For :

- Experience in startups, side projects, or hackathons where youve had to ship scrappy solutions fast.

- Background in algorithms, optimization, or data-heavy systems.

- Experience with Google Cloud Platform (GCP) in production.

- Familiarity with Redis (caching, queues) and PostgreSQL at some scale.

- Exposure to containers and orchestration (Docker, Kubernetes) and/or serverless on GCP.

This role is a central piece of our backend roadmap, and were aiming to fill it quickly once we meet the right person. If it resonates with you, go ahead and apply now.
